Ouaddou like an original fans' song

I WANT to thank Fulham's fans for bringing originality back to football chants, which for too long have been limited to Village People's Go West (Stand Up If You Hate Man U) and Il Donna Mobile (Paulo Di Can-i-o).

I WANT to thank Fulham's fans for bringing originality back to football chants, which for too long have been limited to Village People's Go West (Stand Up If You Hate Man U) and Il Donna Mobile (Paulo Di Can-i-o).

My thanks goes to the them not for "Knowing Me, Knowing You Saha" (as I think Newcastle invented that on his loan spell three years ago) but for their quite brilliant tribute to their Moroccan Abdeslam Ouaddou.

What a corker this is: "Ouaddou like to be beside the seaside, Ouaddou like to be beside the sea..."

Now I like that for many reasons mainly because my favourite chant of all time is this late-60s classic:

"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, oh I do like to be beside the sea, oh I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom, where the brass band plays: **** off West Brom."

So thank you all you Fulham songsmiths.

And I hope you reciprocate this praise when your chairman eventually takes over at West Ham, and I lead the Boleyn Ground in the Trini Lopez classic: "Al Fayed's A Hammer..."
